Kelly Johnson, the legendary head of the Lockheed Skunk Works and developer of the SR-71 had one cardinal rule that summarized his genius: "Simplicate, and make lighter."
That pretty well summarizes my feelings towards software in general. Developers love to put in "cool things" to programs, what I have heard the military refer to as "the good idea fairy." I'm in there with Leslie; every "enhancement" that is done is one more thing to go wrong. I want the most minimalist product that will do precisely what I need, and no more. AC is already fairly bloated by my standards.
